An immense explosion of purple fire and white lightning illuminated the Astaroth continent, generating shock waves that level entire mountains.
The Neo-Demons and Magi that escaped the stronghold saw the might of that explosion with wide eyes and shocked hearts. None of them could understand how someone could display such power in a plane that limited battle strength beneath Rank 4.
Numir and the rest of Daybreak Clan's members were all filled with an immense sense of pride and admiration. While their brothers and sisters' demise still hurt them, that display of power made them understand the might of the Ancestor.
Samuel's expression was also one of mixed emotions. The close encounter with death and the feeling of defeat when he faced the monster affected him, but a burning desire for strength appeared in his eyes as he saw the lightning and flames flooding the sky.
